Heathen Has it ALL

Rating:*****

This is one of the best all-around shells on the market. This jacket covers it all- it is extremely light weight and packable, excellent gortex material that shields you from all the elements completely, great pit zips and 2 big pocket zips, and a well designed hood to protect from wind & snow etc. The surf blue color is really bright and quite fun. The female cut on the jacket is excellent, leaving room for layering underneath as well as some stretch for movement. This is a great shell for touring, climbing, running, and even skiing on the area. Extremely versatile and aggressive jacket that will give you your money's worth.
